More street level screens now live @wmata.com stations. Another example of Metro modernizing to provide an even better customer experience. Great job team!

The wind is unbearable and made me cancel the remainder of the day. I’m aggravated.

Tomorrow, Capital One Arena will host a U.S. Figure Skating event to honor the lives lost during January’s tragic plane crash.     Join us as we remember and pay tribute to their legacy.   The closest stations: Chinatown-Gallery Place and Metro Center, a 5 or 10-minute walk to the venue.

Orange Line: Trains operating between Vienna & Clarendon only because of planned work. Use Silver Line to New Carrollton to continue trip.

Blue Line: Trains operating every 15 mins w/ single tracking between McPherson Square & Foggy Bottom because of planned work. Info: www.wmata.com/weekend

They could’ve been in their bag if they tried hard enough.

What beef do they have with meteorologists?

Addison Road-Seat Unpleasant.

I hate feeling sick. 🤒

About 7,000 bus stop signs are being updated for our Better Bus launch on June 29. Metro is making signs easier to read & optimizing service across the region. Plus, our 202-GO-METRO will help customers contact customer service for trip planning & more. ➡️ wmata.com/about/news/M...

On a serious note, how many more federal workers are they planning to fire?

We’re celebrating 46 months of consistent growth! We average more than 800,000 daily trips combined on bus and rail. Thanks to all our customers for helping us reach our milestones. To view Metro’s FY25 Service Excellence Report, visit: www.wmata.com/about/news/u... #wmata #MetroBoardMeeting

Our service and safety metrics in 2024 showed Metro trending in a positive direction in key areas! That progress is guided by our Strategic Transformation Plan. Check out our Annual Transformation Report: www.wmata.com/about/news/upload/Annual-Transformation-Report.pdf #wmata

Higher ridership = more revenue 💰 The newly revised budget proposal shows an increase of $20M for FY26 & a projected increase of $29M in FY27 from our Dec proposal. #wmata #MetroBoardMeeting

Metro’s board of directors heard an update on next year’s budget, which takes effect July 1. Thanks in part to increasing ridership #wmata believes it can spend $20 million more than expected on long term capital projects, which include things like the future 8000 series.

Coming up this morning: Metro‘s board of directors will discuss next year‘s budget. Thanks to increasing ridership & rail riders making longer trips, at least in the short term the budget looks better than it did even a few months ago. #wmata wjla.com/news/local/m...

I don’t feel good today, but hopefully tomorrow is a different story.

Our next Metro Board of Directors meeting starts soon. Tune in live here: www.youtube.com/live/Q96Gb6D... #wmata #MetroBoardMeeting

Do I want to binge this morning?

Great town-hall w/ @wmata.com Digital Modernization team discussing priorities & how we can keep improving. They are working really hard on ending paper forms, improving data driven processes, customer tools & leveraging tech to improve safe service and cost efficiency. + cool 🚇pic!

Joined accessibility advocates to launch Waymap navigation app designed to help those with accessibility needs navigate cities & transit systems. Metro is 1st network in world to be fully mapped! Another way to make Metro even safer & more accessible for everyone. #wmata

🎉 Happy birthday to Metro! 🎉 On this day in 1967, Metro was created. We’re celebrating 58 years as the region’s mass transit provider. Enjoy this throwback to the official ribbon-cutting in 1976. Thank you for being a part of the journey! #wmata

Nice ride on @wmata.com Bus tonight. Always good to check in with operators and seeing service at different times. #wmata

Great Saturday at the Capital Area Food Bank volunteering with our @wmata.com team. We are honored to serve our community everyday & today was extra special. Metro staff donated $18k+ and collected lots of food to help our neighbors in need. I encourage you to help if you can. #wmata

President’s Day weekend, shuttle buses replace trains between Foggy Bottom & Clarendon.

Update: Metrobus plans to run normal service tomorrow, Thursday, Feb. 13, starting at 4 a.m. We’re now operating 165 routes and 15 routes remain on detour under the severe snow plan as we assess road conditions. For more information, visit: wmata.com/about/news/M... #wmata

“Every storm is different,” said Paul Kram, Program Manager within the Office of Facilities Maintenance. But Metro’s always ready. Paul’s team has been preparing for this week’s snow throughout the year. Watch to learn more. #wmata

👇Due to road conditions Metro Bus service is being reduced to keep our customers and staff safe. Crews are out in force doing storm response to keep things moving the best we safely can. Pls follow Metro Pulse and social channels for real time status. Be safe & stay off roads.

Thx for highlighting the hard work of the team. Really proud of what Team @wmata.com has done to transform the agency driving record customer satisfaction on top of leading country in ridership increase.
